Barbara graduated from Lapel High School and attended college briefly at Miami of Ohio. Primarily a homemaker, she worked a few years as a secretary for her husband Bills law practice and book keeper for said practice and his "The Underground" recording studio.
She served on the Lawrence Schools PTA, was an active member of Lawrence United Methodist Church for 60 years, was treasurer of The Womens Dorcas Circle for many years, and was an avid supporter of the churchs Youth Corp receiving a "Certificate of Appreciation" for 11 years.
